[BoS SPOILERS - Prydwen] You're a monster if you..

[zeus]

..blew up the Prydwen. I don't know about you, but if you started the BoS quests prior to blowing it up, then you'll know that there are children initiate soldiers aboard. You just killed them, LOL. Bethesda doesn't even show a sequence where they evacuate or anything. So they were still aboard. But now they're all dead. Thanks to you. Monster.

The kid has been brainwashed and has become militant. He is not unlike the child-soldiers that some countries produce in war. American soldiers are not given the privilege of not engaging them. It is just one more reason to hate the BOS and stop ttem before they recruit any more children.

I agree with this. The REAL reason you shouldn't blow up the Prydwen is that there's a cat onboard.

Robots isnt that value as humans lol

Actually that is not true. The game demonstrates very human-like emotions for synths. The same argument was used in the 1700's to justify the horrible treatment of black slaves. If they are capable of demonstrating the same level of emotion, then they must be treated without partiality.

They apear to have human emotions in a humanlike body. They hav no soul. They are no more significant than a cementblock. SYNTHS ARE NOT ALIVE!!! They are flesh controlled by programs.
If the syth personalities were stuck on a monitor, an the railroad was actually smuggling toasters on the underground railroad. The you would see how lame they are.

True that. The BOS don't scare me. The Institute doesn't scare me. The raiders, mirelurk queens, deathclaws, none of them do. But the damned PETA people and their lawyers... (shudder)

I'd be very uneasy about destroying the Prydwen and the Brotherhood.
No.1, - I think it looks cool even from a long distance and No.2 - , let's face it, when do you ever see Minutemen, Railroad agents or Institute people on the ground taking on supermutants, feral ghouls, raiders and Gunmen? Not often. They're too busy feeling important at the Castle or hiding underground. BoS soldiers are pretty much needed.

Destroying all those rescources to remove 1 cat is quite unreasonably overboard. I do agree somthing has to be about those evil disgusting wretched creatures

Toasters don't plead for their lives. Synths do.
Also, it is your assumpton that the synths have no souls. You want to be technical, scientists assure us that humans have no souls, either.

You want to know the sad part? In Fallout 3 there was an orphan child who needed your help in the community of Grayditch. One of your viable options was to sell him into slavery for a quick buck. Some things never change.

Yeah, I remember that quest...after wiping everyone out, then wailing on that one guy who wouldn't die, I realized "oh crap, that's a kid!" then the Prydwen blew up. I like to think the kid survived, created a life for himself in the harsh wasteland, and in some DLC expansion we get to fight the hardened, unstable Rambo monster I created :P.

You drew first bbbb-LOOOD!!!! (Frank Reynolds on It's always sunny in Philidelphia quoting Rambo lol)

The BoS are pricks, you know how many children and innocents they probably destory in their conquest for all technology? They act like they are on some holy crusade but ironically they are pretty much the EXACT thing they are trying to prevent with their "keeping the tech out of the wrong hands".

They have taken it upon themelves to protect, but all they do is manipulate and destroy, so you know what I say? ♥♥♥♥, the BoS.

Every now and again I will take a trip to the carcass of their once "great" flying fortress, just to piss on the ashes and spit on their memory.

From what I see in game, seemingly less than the institute :)

I don't see the two factions as all that different as they both see themselves as the appropriate authority on tech, the brotherhood is just more wary about its use.

Well, just an observation, and kind of aimed at those who argue that the game offers no choices. It seems to me that there are a sufficient number of options on whom to hate, or not to hate, as well as on which paths to tread. And roll-playing is all in the mind, where it should be.
